VTE: Prevention Success Stories

The
Safer Healthcare Now! Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) intervention promotes the use of pre-printed order sets and timely administration of the appropriate thromboprophylaxis to reduce hospital-acquired VTE. We asked three teams to share their journey in implementing evidence-based best practices to reduce VTE. The
Safer Healthcare Now! VTE Getting Started Kit helped these teams to develop VTE protocols and the teams participated in a VTE Audit Day to obtain a snapshot and measure their results.
